The Magnaura

**Ramses II CP** · 08-18-2008, 22:02

A letter arrives from Vissarionas ek Lesvou and is read into the record by a sweating, uncomfortable scribe:

Even the messengers of this body must be severely in decline with regards to their ability, unless I am expected to believe that the Megas election was actually a tie. In any case I have sent my vote in once more just in case.

Now, would anyone care to explain why the oldest candidate wins by default in the event of a tie? Is there no more objective, useful criteria available?

Vissarionas ek Lesvou

With a gentle shudder the scribe glances up, and smiles in relief. As he is walking away from the floor he casually flips the note over, and instantly turns the color of curdled milk. Slowly, shamefacedly he walks back to the center of the floor and again addresses the chamber.

P.S. And the Caesar is still a dirt worshipping, dog loving, blind beast. The Muslims of Alexandria called him a hero as I rode by, and cried out to me asking when he would arrive to save them and slay more Crusaders!

After listening the words of the letter Ioannis stands up and looks towards the emperor and says.

"Because of the continuous slander of Vissarionas ek Lesvou, against the Caesar and with him the imperial family, i hereby officially suggest for Basileus to close this man from the Senate and by so nullify his voting rights also for an period of time. The continuous insults towards the future Emperor and Imperial family must stop, or we will loose all civilized manner in the Senate. What says the Emperor?"

Efstathios looks at Kantakouzinos..

Well.. So far Vissarionas have said only the truth.. So I don't see why to ban him..

**Kagemusha** · 08-18-2008, 23:20

Kantakouzinos turns towards Laskaris with chilling gaze in his eyes and lowering his voice ask´s.

"So you think that your future Emperor is murderer of Bysantine crusaders, that he has willingly killed his future subjects, like Ek Lesvou wrote in his slandering letter? And you are saying that here in front of the whole senate?"

**Ibn-Khaldun** · 08-18-2008, 23:21

Now if you put it that way then.. I think I am saying all that!

Efstathios smiles..

**woad&fangs** · 08-18-2008, 23:25

An ironic accusation, Laskaris.

**Kagemusha** · 08-18-2008, 23:28

"In that case you should be banned from senate just as Ek Lesvou should. You are going too far with your slander. Calling the Caesar a murderer of his own people borders treason."
